COMPLETE DESCRIPTION
Flamenco guitar built by the nephews of the guitar master Domingo Esteso (Mariano, Faustino and Julio) in the famous workshop on 7 Gravina Street in Madrid. It is one of the most visited places by the great masters Niño Ricardo, Juan Habichuela, Paco de Lucía and many more; their guitars are considered unique pieces for collectors, highlighting their perfect and solid construction.
The selection of woods used for this instrument is: german pine spruce of exceptional sound quality and top quality grain for the soundboard, and stunning cypress of the best quality for the body (sides and back). Woods like these are impossible to find nowadays.
Thanks to the selection of woods used on this instrument, its sound is exquisite to the ears of both lovers and professionals of flamenco, offering exceptional depth and power on the bass strings, together with powerful and crystalline trebles. This guitar offers perfect comfort on both of the guitarist’s hands.
The pulsation of this guitar is of medium tension with the strings at perfect height for performance.
The guitar is in an excellent condition, almost completely original. It only presents a little crack on one side which has been fully repaired, and the original chopsticks have been changed for new mechanical chopstick.
We would like to highlight the fact that this is one of the first guitars of this firm with a “half moon” head.
